Six masked bandits staged a daring hold-up yesterday in the Deep South Rupununi during which they seized a quantity of gold and they later escaped after having to release nine hostages they had taken.
In a release, the police last night identified the rescued persons as follows:
-Victor Adams, a 34-year-old Natural Resources Officer of Georgetown.
-Romain Simon, a 39-year-old Natural Resource Officer of Zeelugt.
